No. 36—Vocational Training Council Annual Report 1984-85. No. 37—Supplementary provisions approved by the Urban Council during the third quarter of the financial year 1985-86. 532 HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL—29 January 1986 Oral answers to questions Information on activities of Trade Advisory Board and Industrial Development Board 1. MR. CLYDESDALE asked: As far as I am aware neither the Trade Advisory Board nor the Industrial Development Board regularly publishes reports or information about its work or its recommendations. In view of the significant decline in the growth of Hong Kong's exports in 1985 will Government consider publishing information or much more information about the work of these two boards since they are so important to the on-going development of Hong Kong's trade and industry? SECRETARY FOR TRADE AND INDUSTRY: Sir, may I first observe that the provisional trade figures for December 1985 show that domestic exports for that month registered a growth over both December 1984 and November 1985. Accordingly, while the lack of growth in our exports for 1985 as a whole over 1984 is disappointing, we should not allow that point to cause despair. As I said in this Council on 11 December 1985, 1984 was an extraordinarily good year and our export performance in 1985 over 1983—in itself a year of considerable growth—shows reasonable progress over a two-year period. That said, the Trade Advisory Board (TAB) advises Government on matters affecting Hong Kong's trade, other than trade in textiles and garments. The Industry Development Board (IDB) advises Government on all industrial matters other than labour and those falling within the purview of the Textiles Advisory Board. Information on important issues under consideration, recommendations made and other activities of the two boards is at present regularly made known to the public through suitable publicity arrangements such as the issue of press statements and features, speeches in public fora, briefings and interviews given to the media. Of course, members of the two boards also disseminate information about the work of the boards to the many trade and industrial organisations to which they belong. In the case of the IDB, consultative documents are issued to the trade where appropriate. For the TAB, notification to the trade of new developments are sometimes covered in Commercial Information Circulars issued by the Trade Department. The role, functions and activities of the two boards are also highlighted in relevant Government publications such as the Hong Kong Annual Report and in the case of the IDB promotional materials produced by the Industry Department. PROF. POON: Sir, has the Government any plan to enhance the co-operation between the Trade Advisory Board, and/or the Trade Development Council and the Industry Development Board, such as through a suitably constituted co-ordinated commission, for a more co-ordinated policy to help the weakening local industry? HONG KONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL—29 January 1986 533 SECRETARY FOR TRADE AND INDUSTRY: Sir, the Government has no plans to integrate further the work of the three separate bodies. But, of course, there is a large degree of common membership between the various bodies and the Government departments concerned work in close co-operation with the TDC. Concessions for elderly citizens 2. MR. CHEONG-LEEN asked: Will steps be taken to set up and co-ordinate a system for the issuance of 'senior citizen cards' whereby senior citizens, say aged 65 or over, can be given certain privileges or special rates in the use of suitable public community facilities or services? SECRETARY FOR HEALTH AND WELFARE: Sir, there are a large number of schemes operated at the district level which provide services for the elderly at concessionary rates. These are mainly initiated and co-ordinated by voluntary organisations such as welfare agencies, service clubs, and partly district boards. The services provided include private medical treatment at special rates, reduced fares on maxicabs, and a number of shops and restaurants give discounts to elderly customers. I do not think that there would be much to be gained by Government being involved in the co-ordination of schemes of this kind. Public services for the elderly are normally either free or heavily subsidised and the question of concessionary rates level does not usually arise. MR. CHEONG-LEEN: Sir, what concessionary rates have been provided by the MTR at present, and if there are none, will the Secretary put forward this suggestion to the MTR? SECRETARY FOR HEALTH AND WELFARE: Sir, as I am aware, there is no concessionary rate for elderly people on the MTR and I have to discuss with the Director of Social Welfare whether it will be appropriate to discuss with the corporation this possibility. MR. HUI: Sir, would it be possible for the Government to take initiative in discussing with semi-public bodies, like the Urban Council, Ocean Park, bus and ferry companies for concessionary rates for elderly people which are already common features extended to senior citizens in many developed countries? SECRETARY FOR HEALTH AND WELFARE: Sir, I understand that the Regional Council in the New Territories is introducing some form of concessionary rates for elderly people for some of their activities.

  • Modern Hong Kong
    Modern Hong Kong Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Asian History Modern Hong Kong Steve Tsang Subject: China, Hong Kong, Macao, and/or Taiwan Online Publication Date: Feb 2017 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.280 Abstract and Keywords Hong Kong entered its modern era when it became a British overseas territory in 1841. In its early years as a Crown Colony, it suffered from corruption and racial segregation but grew rapidly as a free port that supported trade with China. It took about two decades before Hong Kong established a genuinely independent judiciary and introduced the Cadet Scheme to select and train senior officials, which dramatically improved the quality of governance. Until the Pacific War (1941–1945), the colonial government focused its attention and resources on the small expatriate community and largely left the overwhelming majority of the population, the Chinese community, to manage themselves, through voluntary organizations such as the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. The 1940s was a watershed decade in Hong Kong’s history. The fall of Hong Kong and other European colonies to the Japanese at the start of the Pacific War shattered the myth of the superiority of white men and the invincibility of the British Empire. When the war ended the British realized that they could not restore the status quo ante. They thus put an end to racial segregation, removed the glass ceiling that prevented a Chinese person from becoming a Cadet or Administrative Officer or rising to become the Senior Member of the Legislative or the Executive Council, and looked into the possibility of introducing municipal self-government.

  • Interracial Experience Across Colonial Hong Kong and Foreign Enclaves in China from the Late 1800S to the 1980S
    Volume 14, Number 2 • Spring 2017 Erasure, Solidarity, Duplicity: Interracial Experience across Colonial Hong Kong and Foreign Enclaves in China from the late 1800s to the 1980s By Vicky Lee, Ph.D., Hong Kong Baptist University Abstract: How were Eurasians perceived and classified in Hong Kong and China during this hundred-year period? Blood admixture was only one of many ways: others included patrilineal descent, choice of family name, and socio-economic background. Family-imposed silence on one’s Eurasian background remained strong, and individual attempts to erase one’s Eurasian identity were common for survival reasons. It is no wonder that government authorities often had difficulty quantifying their Eurasian population. What experiences of erasure of Eurasianness were shared both collectively and individually? A strong sense of Eurasian solidarity was manifested in different forms, such as intermarriage and community cemeteries. Duplicity was another common element in their experience: Name-changing practices and submission to the new Japanese government during the Occupation sometimes rendered Eurasians suspect during and after wartime. Memoirs reflect the constant psychological harassment of Eurasians in patriotic Chinese schools during 1940s Peking and in Tsingdao, and Eurasians became frequent targets for criticism during the Maoist Era. Many Eurasians experienced psychological and physical torment as their very faces were evidence enough to subject them to criticism and punishments.
